A book is sacred.
It’s hours in direct contact with an author’s deepest knowledge and understanding, reflected through the lens of your mind. It’s the next best thing to sitting on a park bench with them.
My picks are the ones I would happily re-read; I have already read some of them more than 25 times. They stand the test of depth over time.
The rest are a curated subset of the thousands of books I’ve read since . I started with the ones that I enjoyed reading most. I’ll keep adding to them as I encounter or re-encounter titles.
You can sort and even save titles from here to a list that stays in your browserYour saved list lives only in this browser, it’s never sent anywhere and I can’t see it. Clear it anytime. (Coming soon to the letters & articles here too.), come back to it anytime you visit. A handy way to keep track of titles you want to read someday.
